Sold. the Tobacco.

Some time since, Stephen Newman,
a Russian Jew, of Rosenhayn, gave up
his residence at that place and left for
parts unknown. He not only left his
home, but also several persons in the
vicinity with pretty large bills against
him. Among this number were Clark
& Co. ,jpf Rosenhayn, George Oliver,
OF this City, and Henry M. Hitchner.
The accounts against Newman by
these parties were respectively $96 "a,
$1,000, and $344s, total of $149S2.
The parties there brought suit against
the runaway, and an attachment made
on a. great lot of tobacco which he had
'seissa and stowed away to cure in
some building.
Friday Constable Powell with the
assistance of Justice of the -n~ace
Riley, went to Rosenbayn and sold the
tobacco, Henry NJ Hitchner being the
purchaser, and the price paid being
$111. A lot of phosphate and other
stuff was sold, which brought up the
total amount to about $16S. The to-
bacco was raised for cigarette tobacco,
and Newman expected to get from 81
to 50 per pound for it. The total
amount received will pay off the debts
and nearly all the cost of the case.

SUED FOR SUPPORT.
After Being Arrested Concludes
to Provide for his Family.

The wife of Thomas Willis, of Fair
field township, through Overseer of
the Poor Daniel Gentry, of this city,
brought suit in Squire Lupton's Court
on Nov. Cd, against her husband
for her support. A warrant was is
sued and Thomas apprehended, and
the trial took place on that day. The
gentleman knew his wife pretty well
and as he expressed it ''if he kept a
stiff back bone she'd come and give in
to him." AS the trial proceeded the
husband kept the 'stiff backbone" and
the Squire was at loss to understand
what to do with the man, finally de-
cided to send him to jail. The papers
were made out and preparations to
send Willis to Jail were begun. That
settled it. True to the prediction of
the husband the woman coaxed and
pleaded for him as earnestly as she
had prosecuted him. She told the
Squire she did not want her Thomas
to go to JAIL and the result was Thomas
finally concluded to give his family
support and paid the costs and to-
gether they left the office in a most
pleasant frame of mind. When a re.
porter last saw them they were going
down South Pearl street together
| towing a little express wagon behind
them, which was soon filed up with
groceries and the couple went home
to ever live hereafter in tranquility.

Drunken Men Cannot Hire.

A couple OF young men under the
influence of liquor, went to one of our
livery stables Wednesday and endeav3
ored to hire a team of horses They
were in no condition to manage horses,
and the owner of the stable promptly
declined to allow the men to have
team. They tried to induce the man
to allow them to have the team for q
larger price than is usual to pay, but
the man was firm. With muttering
curses they left. To a PIONEER re-
porter the liveryman said: Il never
allow my horses or wagons to go under
the control of drunken man. Nc
matter how good the fellow is when he
has liquor aboard, he is not safe with
a horse. l have had animals abused
by drunken men, and some of my
wagons have been broken, and hence
forth no man under the influence of
liquor can get my poorest rig. l expect
to lose the trade of that couple be-
cause of this refusal, but it cannot be
helped for I won't allow them to abuse
my property" A little later the two
were seen with another rig racing
down Jefferson street, and every min
ute itseemedas ifthey would upsetthe
buggy. The reporter was of the opin
ion that the livery man was right in
his refusal to allow them to have his
teams to abuse in the manner in which
this horse was being treated.

A PIONEER reporter was talking
with Elmer Jackson, the veteran fish
dealer of this city, Saturday night.
AS was stated in our issue on Saturday
the murdered woman is half-sister
of Mr.. Jackson's. In the conversation
Mr. Jackson said he did not believe
that Durham was the murderer. He
able to do such terrible deed. His
snspicions were pointed toward Aker,
the first husband of the girl, as he
said he knew that this man had
terrible Feline ~s~inet tho old lady
and fully capable to do anything Mr.
Jackson also spoke of the Industrious
ness of the woman. When her hus-
band died he left his widow two farms
but upon both were heavy mortgages.
The woman with an iron will went to
work and by her thrift and industry
lifted the debts and with the excep-
ton of about 81, 900 her $4,000 worth
of property is entirely cleared. The
daughter is the only heir, but Mr..
jackson did not believe that this fact
led Dunham to kill the woman. A
great deal of interest regarding the
matter is manifested among the citi-
zens of this place.
Justice Livermore, Sheriff Packer
and the jailer on Saturday night held
an interview with Dunham in the
prison cell, and compelled him to take
off the clothes he wore when he was
arrested. They were then subjected
to a close examination, and on the
neck band of the shirt were found two
small spots resembling blood marks,
and on the left wristband four or five
larger spots of blood were found. All
but one of the spots look as though an
attempt had been made to wash out
the blood, but they still show very
plainly
Sunday afternoon the search was
continued over the fields, and on ex-
aiming pile of corn stalks, pair of
trousers and coat. well smeared with
blood, were discovered They were
hidden about seven feet from surface
The garments were taken to the house
and exhibited to Dunham's wife and
she recognized them as belonging to her
husband, and said he wore them while
husking corn in the field with her
mother.
Prosecutor Perry, accompanied by
Sheriff Packer and Marshal Smith, last
night held another interview with Dun
ham in his prison cell. Mr.. Perry took
with him the bloody clothing, and as
he entered the cell Dunham gazed
Vacahtly at isim, and when he held up
the clothing and asked Dunham if they
belonged to hin he shook his head and
did not say whether they did or not
Mr. Perry then held up each article,
and pointing out the large spots OF
blood, said: George, do you see that?' |
MIR. Durham looked in perplexed |
manner ut Mr.. Perry for a moment |
only, and then wheeled on his heel |
and turned his face to the wall, refus- |
ing to say word and shaking his head |
as though greatly agitated.
The excitement at Unionville over
the murder is intense, and at one time
yesterday it was estimated that over
800 people were in the vicinity of the
little farm house, and about fifty car
riages were hitched along the road
side The funeral Of the murdered wo-
man takes place on Wednesday.
Board of Education has its regular
meAting on Monday evening.
